It’s kind of weird that it all of a sudden feels like November. It’s also kind of weird that the weather outside takes up so much of my thought and conversation.
I went to bed late Saturday night. 3am late. Chad fell asleep on the couch and I didn’t wake him. I don’t know why he came home and decided to lay on the couch and not the bed, but that’s where he ended up, so I let him be. I can never function properly after a night of going to bed at 3am. It didn’t help that I had some very bizarre dreams as well. I don’t know why the people you hate have to pop into your dreams and ruin your sleep. That’s just rude.
Yesterday we did nothing. All plans were canceled due to the rain. I would have liked to sleep on the couch all day. That was the kind of day it felt like.
We drove out to South Surrey for din din with the In-Laws. On our way out there Chad and I were talking about how it would be the perfect day for comfort food. I asked him what his idea of comfort food was. Lasagna was his dish of choice. Mine? Roast and potatoes. We got to the house, and low and behold Chads mom had read my mind. She basically made all of my favorite comfort food dishes. Roast Beef, Beer Can Chicken, Roasted Potatoes, Yorkshire Pudding, Green Beans, Egg Fried Zucchini, and Garlic Bread. DROOL. Of course, no matter how starving you are, it’s way too hard to eat all of that because comfort food is kind of heavy, but I was loving every minute of it. It’s so awesome when someone serves you what you are craving with out even knowing that you are craving it.
As soon as we got on the road for home, all the wine, and food, and late nights hit me and I was out like a light. I was hoping I would sleep like a rock, but all the weird dreams came back and I was tossing and turning all night long. It was not a good sleep by any means. I then woke up to my calf muscle cramping and I was in totally pain for 5 minutes. Thats the second time in a month it’s happened to me. It’s so sore now.
Humm…would it be weird if I got Chad to build a fire tonight? That is totally what I feel like.

Yorkshire puddings are a comfort food for me too, but so is anything that can hold gravy and then can be eaten.

I haven’t had a Yorkshire pudding since I moved out of my parents’ house… I’m so jealous.

Oh my god that all sounds so delicious. Followed by a fire the next day? It couldn’t get anymore perfect than that really… unless it was followed by a fire that evening.

We have a real one! Our apartment building was built in the 70s so a bunch of the units have read wood fireplaces.
